yum and up2date are both front-ends for rpm. It is rpm that implements the repackage and rollback facilities. As far as I know, yum doesn't provide a hook for doing rollbacks etc., so if you're happy with up2date, you may as well stick with it.
I am actually using yum for most or our servers but found out that up2date allows rollback which may prompt me to switch to up2date. I just didn't know what the drawbacks (if any) were to switching
from yum to up2date. Right now I can see a major advantage which is rollback but I wanted to get the general opinion of more experienced folk.
Thanks, -cs
